More seriously, I'd love to see a weird, mystical unarmed fighter that isn't the monk.

all arcane magic stems from the Great Old Ones. So if you were a wizard in that setting, you'd have to use an Old One as your patron if you wanted one at all That sounds like a really fun campaign. I love the idea of tying good (magic) with bad (Mythos patrons). Really makes players question whethe...

In my campaign, The Western Baronies (which is a fantasy-western pastiche), all arcane magic stems from the Great Old Ones. So if you were a wizard in that setting, you'd have to use an Old One as your patron if you wanted one at all. Mortal wizards inevitably believe that they can harness the power...

I'm married to a wonderful woman that I've been with for thirteen years now, and we are in turn owned by a pair of cats. Congratulations on the first part, laughed my ass off on the second - you grasped the absolute truth about "cat owners" with a half sentence. :) Thanks! And the cats ha...

Have you heard of Plato's theory of the Five Ages of Man? Plato came up with this myth-cycle where the gods had created and destroyed humanity several times before arriving at modern people. The second such effort were basically semi-immortal children who lived ignorant of death and old age, simply ...

Hi! I'm Jeremy, and I'm a freelance RPG author with several credits under my belt, including Faction Folio: The Blackcloak Watch, Ronin (OMNI System and d20), and the upcoming Hellfrost d20 Bestiary. I'm always looking for work, so if there are any folks out there in desperate need of a hungry freel...
